Chapter 193: Come to the Imperial Dining Room

Xiao Yichen looked down at the thing wrapped in Jinpa that Chi Feng handed over and asked, "What is this?"
At first glance, it looked like an exquisite gift, but Xiao Yichen knew that Chi Feng had never given him any serious gift.
Chi Feng smiled like a fox, "The containment of Yuchi Gongru last night was like an accident. I believe that the emperor will be pleasantly surprised when he sees him." The sale of this pass is quite confusing. What can Yuchi Gongru have in his hands? good stuff?
Xiao Yichen took the Jinpa and unfolded it as Chi Feng expected. Inside it was a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings? "Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows. Seeing this, he didn't have any surprises. Where does the joy come from?
Xiao Yichen stretched out his and pinched the mask and shook his eyes. He tentatively asked, "Whose face is this from?" Seeing this human skin face and eyebrows are very beautiful, it doesn't look like a man. , Could it be...
"Is it on Zhixue's face?" Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and raised his head to look at Chi Feng, with a hint of warning in his eyes. Only Chi Feng dares to sell him in front of him.
Chi Feng smiled and said: "The emperor is wise!"
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and put the human skin on the table and continued to think about it: "Zhixue is not the real Princess Dayan? Where is that person?"
Chi Feng said: "The person that Yuchi Ruge is looking for is the one who the emperor is in love with. The Weichen has the heart to share the worries for the emperor and handles the matter very well. Now she is in the palace."
Xiao Yichen nodded pretentiously, and glanced over the dishes on the table, "She's in the royal dining room?"
Chi Feng nodded, the emperor, the minister can only help you here, you and her... the complex needs to be solved by yourself.
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and patted Chi Feng on the shoulder, "Fortunately, you have suffered, so I don't care about you leaving Wei Chi as courteous."
Chi Feng gave his hands and flattered again, "Thank you, the emperor, the emperor’s kindheartedness is the blessing of the ministers, the blessing of the people, and the ministers are touched. In the rest of his life, the emperor will do his best and die."
Xiao Yichen waved his hand, "I see, go down!"
Chi Feng retreated to the door, suddenly raised his head and smiled and asked, "The emperor, why didn't the minister have a reward for doing such a beautiful thing?" The emperor, are you too stingy?
Xiao Yichen looked at Chi Feng amusedly: "Isn't it enough for me to reward you with a good breakfast?"
Chi Feng twitched his eyelids, bowed his head and disappeared obediently.
Xiao Yichen stood up, put away the human skin mask, and walked toward the imperial dining room without a servant.
By the well in the backyard of the Imperial Dining Room, Ji Lingxue squatted on the ground to wash the dishes with a rag. She squatted to wash the vegetables since the sun went up the mountain. The bowl and bucket were brought over. She washed it for half an hour, but it hadn’t finished. The delicate hands became red, white and wrinkled after being soaked in water for a long time.
The whip sounded from time to time behind her, she knew it now, and the one who used the whip to wake her up and urge her to wash the dishes was the aunt of the housekeeper.
Ji Lingxue: What the is going on, which kidnapped me to wash the dishes in the palace last night, wait for me to find out who I must "thank" his kindness!
This palace is easy to get in, but difficult to get out. She has lost contact with Ruge and Ange.
"Ah sneeze!" Chi Feng, who walked to the gate of the palace, sneezed heavily, rubbing his nose and looking up at the sun above his head.
"Pop!" Aunt-in-chief’s whip from Ningxia Chou Zhai Jilin, saw water splashing around on her hand, and Ji Lingxue, who was in a trance, loosened her hand, and the bowl fell to the ground with a clatter and fell to pieces.
Aunt in charge: "What are you doing? I can't even hold the bowls. Wash them quickly. It's almost noon. These bowls are all waiting to be used! Don't think you know how to make some pastries and show your hand in front of the chef. No more work!"
Ji Lingxue turned her eyes to look at the whip while speaking bitterly, and she glanced at the unpleasant aunt in charge. She remembered this person.
Xiao Yichen personally came to the imperial dining room, "The emperor!" The palace people who were chopping wood in the courtyard first noticed Xiao Yichen's arrival, and Xiao Yichen also wore white in the entire palace. This white dangling dragon-patterned robe was really conspicuous.
Then the head chef in the imperial dining room helped the chef and the mother go out to bow together.
Xiao Yichen waved his hand, "Be flat, I just have a look, you can continue to do your own thing!"
Everyone looked at each other, and they were all in the emperor's heart for visiting the dining room. Why? Do things more and more cautiously.
The hands of the kitchen helpers who were slicing vegetables and meat in the pantry were shaking in panic, their hands squinted, and the kitchen knife wiped their fingers, and the next moment blood was splashed.
The chef kneading the flour here wanted to show himself well in front of the emperor. The hand holding the spoon was a little trembling. Suddenly, the water added more, and the dough became rotten more and more kneaded, making him sweat profusely.
The meat-cutting chef here deliberately wanted to show his many years of knife skills. The kitchen knife in his hand was thrown into the air. When he reached out and took it, he was holding not the handle but the blade. The blood flowed into a river for a moment, scaring the surrounding mothers. Mother screamed.
The imperial dining room became the scene of the disaster in an instant. Xiao Yichen twitched the corners of his mouth and hurriedly swept through the people in the house. He turned around and walked out without seeing Ji Lingxue.
At this moment, Ji Lingxue was holding the freshly washed dishes and folded into a half-person height, and together with a few rough maidservants, carrying the dishes and entering the imperial dining room, the tall dishes blocked Ji Lingxue’s eyes. Xiao Yichen who passed by him.
The aunt in charge who came over behind Ji Lingxue saw Xiao Yichen standing in the yard proudly and saluting in fear, but was interrupted by Xiao Yichen, "Are all the people in the royal dining room here?"
Aunt Guanshi thought for a while and wanted to answer: "There are a few maids who have gone to various palaces to feed the masters. I don't know who the emperor wants to find?"
Xiao Yichen let out a cry, he rushed over in a hurry, and brushed past Ji Lingxue. It's really... Forget it, it's better for her to be in the palace, better than staying beside Yuchi Ruge.
Xiao Yichen said: "It's okay, you are busy with yours." After speaking, he left directly.
Aunt Guan looked at Xiao Yichen's back with a look of dismay, and the emperor talked to her today...
Ji Lingxuemao leaned her waist, grabbed the steamed buns in the steamer and stuffed them into her mouth while the aunt in charge was still intoxicated, turned and sneaked out.
After leaning on the rockery, when a team of patrolling Yulin Army passed by, Ji Lingxue wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and walked out of the rockery to look around, walked left to the road to the imperial study, and walked right to the harem.
Ji Lingxue walked to the right without thinking about it, but the more he walked, the more deviated he was. Strangely, how could it be different from the palace layout in her memory?
Ji Lingxue curled her lips while looking at the "Leng Gong" on the door plaque not far away. When she turned to leave, she saw a group of patrolling Imperial Forest Army coming not far away. She looked down at herself as a court lady and walked slowly.
Ji Lingxue: I am a court lady now, there is no need to hide.
Suddenly a scrawny hand stretched out from the crack in the door of Lenggong, grabbed Ji Lingxue's arm and pulled her in.
Startled in a cold sweat by the sudden change, Ji Lingxue covered her mouth and didn't let herself yell. It would be no good if she alarmed the Yulin Army, her identity would be exposed.
"Don't be afraid...Don't be afraid..." A kind and kind voice came from behind.
Ji Lingxue looked intently, only to see a familiar face in the other party's shaggy hair, which was actually the former imperial concubine.
Xiao Yichen ascended the throne as the emperor. Except for the death of the former queen and the country's uncle, the other female family members were basically driven out of the palace. There was a major cleaning in the palace. The empress dowager is still the empress dowager, and she still lives in her palace. Stay deep and simple.
The former imperial concubine once gave birth to a son and a daughter for Xiao Yimo. One son died at three months, and the other daughter died of illness when she heard that she did not live to be ten years old. The imperial concubine who had no support went crazy overnight. Finally lived in the cold palace for the rest of his life.
"Daughter, don't be afraid, it's the mother concubine!" The former imperial concubine took Ji Lingxue's hand and looked up and down, eyes full of surprise.
Ji Lingxue: She actually recognized me as his daughter.
The former imperial concubine took Ji Lingxue's hand and walked in. The cold palace was very shabby. There was a big hole in the door and window and no one came to repair it. Ji Lingxue was pressed on the stool. The former imperial concubine took a set of clothes and handed it to her: "Daughter, I made you a suit, do you like it?"
Ji Lingxue wiped off the clothes and nodded, "Good-looking!"
The former imperial concubine was overjoyed and looked down to see Ji Lingxue's broken and white hand holding her hand in distress, "Daughter, your hand..."
Ji Lingxue smiled, "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."
The former imperial concubine turned around and rummaged in the dilapidated dressing cabinet. He found a bottle of plaster and carefully applied medicine to Ji Lingxue. "This wound medicine was given to me by your father. The effect is very good. You can apply it quickly. It will be fine."
Ji Lingxue was moved for a while. The grievance she suffered in the palace was also dissipated when she met the former imperial concubine. She suddenly held the other's hand, stared into her eyes and asked, "Do you want to leave here?"
The former imperial concubine was taken aback and shook her head: "But you are here, and I am here." She covered her mouth and coughed.
Ji Lingxue counted the time, the Yulin Army patrolling outside probably left and got up to leave.
The former imperial concubine took her hand and asked, "You are leaving, when will you come to see me next time?"
Ji Lingxue thought for a while and said, "I will see you in two days."
The former imperial concubine smiled and let go, "Okay, I'll wait for you, you go quickly, don't be found." He said and waved.
Ji Lingxue walked to the door and turned her head, and saw the former imperial concubine waved at her with a disheveled hair, her eyes were full of life, perhaps because of her arrival.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Yichen called the female secret guard, who was the stand-in for Ji Lingxue carefully trained by Xiao Yichen. At that time, he and Ji Lingxue went to Dayan. This stand-in played the role of Ji Lingxue in the palace.
"The emperor!" The female guard held her fists and saluted.
Xiao Yichen nodded, took out the human skin mask from her sleeve and handed it to her, "This is Princess Dayan Zhixue, you can easily make her return to Yuchi Ruge."
A trace of puzzlement flashed across the female guard's eyes. She was carefully cultivated by Xiao Yichen. She learned from Ji Lingxue in her words and deeds. Although she could not fully interpret it, she also learned a similarity. Now she suddenly changed her identity and how she played it.
Xiao Yichen was too lazy to explain, "If Yuchi Ruge asks you where you went last night, you say you are going to the gambling shop." He threw a bag of silver to her.
The female guard nodded and turned away.
